HC Deb 26 July 1861 vol 164 c1693
MR. WHITE

I beg to ask a question of the noble 'Viscount at the head of the Government. A new writ has been moved for Tamworth, and I' wish to ask, Whether the hon. Baronet has really been appointed Secretary for Ireland; and, if so, whether he is still a member of the Carlton Club?

VISCOUNT PALMEBSTON

Sir Robert Peel has accepted the office of Secretary for Ireland. In regard to the Carlton Club, I am not in the secrets of that body.
